City Roads Stay Smooth and Safe Roads Due To Annual Street Maintenance Work |
|
|
|
|
|
To ensure smooth safe roads, the City is committed to providing a well-maintained road system for the community - and that's one of the best. Each year, City crews apply a slurry seal to a portion, one seventh, of Coronado’s public streets to refresh the existing asphalt surfaces. The slurry seal maintenance program extends the life of the city's existing street surface and minimizes future costly repairs as the asphalt pavement degrades.
In the spring, a City contractor will begin working on the slurry seal project along Glorietta Boulevard, south of Fourth Street, and on other streets throughout the city. Businesses and residents near the affected areas will be informed before work begins. The contractor will also take steps to control traffic while the street improvements are underway.

Parker Pump Station Construction Moving Forward |
|
|
|
|
|
The City is currently investing $26 million to replace the existing aging Parker Pump Station with a new pump station. This critical infrastructure, located at Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue, is responsible for collecting storm water and sanitary sewer flows. The construction is moving forward, and the contractor is making progress. The materials and deliveries continue to be secured, which is significant, especially in an era disrupted by supply chains, because it will minimize schedule impacts.
Sound abatement barriers have been installed along portions of the property lines. Beginning on March 1, the intersection at Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue will be closed for an extended period of time for the construction.
